3 Claims.

This invention relates to a novel razor blade holder whereby a scraper is provided especially designed for scraping hot plates and grills in restaurants and kitchens.

The prime object of my invention is to provide a simple holder which permits the ready introduction and removal or razor blades.

A further object is to provide a novel razor blade holder which will hold both double and single edged razor blades.

A feature of my invention is to provide a device of the character stated, which will hold the razor blade more firmly and tightly, and one which will more effectively retain the razor blade.

Other objects, advantages, and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detailed description, and the appended claims.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a plan view of my razor blade holder.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary side elevation of the holder, the fragments of the handle being shown in section.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional View taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary plan view of a modified type of holder.

Figure 5 is a side elevation of the same.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary plan View of the bottom plate.

Figure 7 is a plan view of the locking plate.

Figure 8 is a view similar to Fig. 6, showing a fragment of a single edged razor blade in position.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, my razor blade holder includes a back plate lsubstantially rectangular in form, and integrally formed with this back plate, I provide a lug 2. This lug is preferably semi-circular in cross section and is threaded. The purpose of this lug will be further described.

A locking plate 3 is superimposed on the bottom plate I, and the locking plate is also provided with a lug 4 integrally formed therewith. This last mentioned lug is also semi-circular in cross section and is threaded and cooperates with the lug 2 to form a complete threaded bolt which screws into the end of the handle 5. By this arrangement, the locking plate is securely held in position on the bottom plate I, and clamps the razor blade 6 securely in position.

In Figs. 4-8 inclusive, the bottom plate 1 is provided with a tang 8 integrally formed therewith, said tang being fitted into the end of the handle 9 for the purpose of mounting the holder.

The top plate ii] is pressed against the bottom plate and is held in position by means of a latch II which latch is pivotally mounted on the tang 8, substantially as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

The construction of the bottom plate and looking plate is the same in both types of holders shown, with the exception of the means of locking the locking plate in position, as previously described.

The bottom plate is provided with upstanding ears l2, 13 on each side thereof, and these ears are integrally formed with the plate. A transverse recess M is formed in the bottom plate for the purpose of receiving the heavy backing strip l5 of the single edged razor blade, as shown in Fig. 8.

At each side of the bottom plate, I provide upstanding walls ifi, ll integrally formed with said plate and these walls are spaced from the ears l2, l3 for a purpose to be further described. When the double edged blade is used, the outer ends of this blade rest upon the upper edges of the walls It, ll, as. shown in Fig. 6. This prevents the blade from being forced inwardly when in use. If the razor blade should slip off of these Walls, it is stopped against further inward movement by the shoulder l8 formed at the lower end of the bottom plate.

The clamping plate i0 is also provided with an elongated recess I9 which co-acts with the recess 30 Hi to receive the heavy back of the single edged razor blade.

A pair of lugs 28, 2! extend outwardly from the clamping plate, and these lugs fit between the ears and the walls, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The side walls of both the bottom plate and clamping plate are tapered inwardly at the outer ends thereof to conform to the Width of the cutting surface of the razor blade.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. A razor blade holder comprising a bottom plate, a clamping plate, a handle, means securing the bottom plate to the handle, a latch pivotally mounted on the bottom plate and engaging the clamping plate whereby the clamping plate is pressed against the bottom plate, an upstanding ear on each side of the bottom plate, an upstanding wall on each side of the bottom plate, the ears and wall at each side of the bottom plate being spaced apart, an outwardly extending lug on each side of the clamping plate, the lugs fitting between an ear and a wall whereby the clamping plate is held against relative horizontal and transverse movement.

2. A razor blade holder comprising a bottom plate, a clamping plate, a handle, means securing the bottom plate to the handle, a latch pivotally mounted on the bottom plate and engaging the clamping plate whereby the clamping plate is pressed against the bottom plate, an upstanding ear on each side of the bottom plate, an upstanding wall on each side of the bottom plate, the ears and wall at each side of the bottom plate being spaced apart, an outwardly extending lug on each side of the clamping plate, the lugs fitting between an ear and a wall whereby the clamping plate is held against relative horizontal and transverse movement, the bottom plate and top plate having a recess formed therein, said recesses co-acting to receive the heavy backing plate of a razor blade.

3. A razor blade holder comprising a bottom plate, a clamping plate cooperating with the bottom plate, a pair of upstanding ears on the bottom plate, an upstanding wall on each side of the bottom plate, the ear and wall on each side of the plate being spaced apart, an outwardly projecting lug on each side of the clamping plate, the lugs fitting between an ear and a wall, a threaded stem on the bottom plate, a threaded stem on the clamping plate, both of said stems cooperating to screw into a handle whereby the clamping plate is pressed against the bottom plate.
